SUBJECT:

Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Review and approval of an application for Conditional Use with No Construction submitted by Property Owners, H. & S. Citrus Inc., Applicant, We Buy Scrap, & Representative, Jim Frogner of Frogner Consulting, LLC, to operate a metal recycling facility, located at 3340 Enterprise Road & 1237 Grose Road in Fort Pierce, FL.  The property is zoned Light Industrial (I-1) Parcel ID: 2428-502-0035-000-5 & 2426-502-0033-000-1
 

SUMMARY:

  • The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use with no new construction approval to operate a metal recycling facility at 3340 Enterprise Road. A metal recycling facility would be categorized as a waste related use pursuant to City Code 22-22, Allowed Uses. The project is split into two parcels that will become one parcel through a parcel combination or Unity of Title.
  • The applicant wishes to operate a metal recycling facility that will consist of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel, aluminum, iron, and copper. The business will not process used or inoperable vehicles, construction debris, or paper goods. The site will use the existing structures to house recycled material, which will be crushed into cubes that are approximately 3’ x 4’ in size. The crushed cubes will be loaded onto trucks and taken offsite to a smelter. There will be a temporary outdoor storage area where the metals that have been crushed will sit and be loaded onto trucks that will take them offsite.
  • The Planning Board at their meeting on January 8, 2019 voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the request.
  • 24 letters were sent out of property owners within 500 feet of the subject property.
